ASIC sets its sights on the Private Equity Market: Compliance is key for financial service providers.

ASIC has set its sights on the rapidly growing private equity market, recognising both the opportunities and risks it presents to an efficient and fair economy. The corporate regulator has emphasised the need to keep pace with the private market sector, making it a top priority.

ASIC has highlighted the necessity for greater transparency and accountability, particularly within private equity. With funds under management increasing dramatically, the need for robust regulatory settings cannot be overstated.

Financial service providers must heed the call and ensure they maintain appropriate compliance measures. This involves adhering to regulatory standards and enhancing transparency and implementing rigorous oversight to mitigate potential risks. ASIC’s focused approach aims to ensure the market conduct and supervision remain stringent, preserving the integrity and reputation of Australian markets.

As the private equity market continues to expand, it is imperative for financial service providers to align with ASIC’s regulatory expectations. By doing so, they not only contribute to a fair and efficient economy by also navigate the complexities of this evolving landscape effectively.
